I love sun, sand and the beach so the idea of spending Christmas and New Year in Mexico sounded like heaven. After a stop over in L.A we flew to Ixtapa – Zihuatanejo for some winter sun! We stayed at Embarc Resorts and it was amaaaazing! The resort was right on the beach and had a […]

I’m a pretty big perfume fan, there’s something about getting dressed up and spraying some perfume on that seems to complete an outfit and have you ready to face the day. I recently spotted the new Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum in my local Debenhams and one quick spray confirmed it for me […]

To break up our long flight to Mexico where we would be spending Christmas and New Year we stayed in L.A for two nights. It was the first time I’d been to west coast America so I was very excited. We stayed in the Avalon hotel in Beverly Hills which was a great location […]

We managed to pack quite a lot into our little holiday. Here are some of the highlights… Dog Sledding This was by far the most fun activity we did in Norway! It was organised by Arctic Adventure Tours and we were driven out into the countryside in a group of about ten people to […]

I was meeting some friends for dinner in central London and two of us had some time before our reservation so decided to head to a bar. Nothing better than a glass of wine and a catch up with one of your oldest friends. I had a quick look on Google maps to find one […]

I’ve just got back from what I can only describe as the best holiday of my life so far. My boyfriend and I decided to embrace the elements and headed to Tromso in Norway at the start of February for 6 days. Now, I’m not good with the cold so choosing to go to one […]

Joe’s Southern Table & Bar has become my go to bar in Covent Garden for cocktails – it’s a good place to meet friends for drinks and nibbles after work and I’ve also visited with my parents. They have happy hour 4pm- 6pm Sunday to Friday and their cocktail choice is good with all the usual […]
